"For this I kneel before the Father from whom..."


Orland Wolfram

(Fall '86)



Dear Christian Friend,


For this I kneel before the Father from whom His whole family upon the earth and in the heavens, derive His name: I pray that out of His glorious riches He will strengthen you with power through your spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts, and I pray that you be rooted and established in love and power together with all the saints to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ and to know this love which passeth knowledge and be filled in full measure with the wisdom of God. Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably better than all we can hope of imagine according to His power that is at work with us, to Him be glory in the Church of Christ through all generations, forever and ever, Amen.


I have been going out less to preach with the brethren and remembering you in prayer more. The brethren return with glowing reports of the work Christ continues to do in the hearts of the people, and I trust that you there also are feeling God's special anointing working power in your midst both in the services in your area and in your personal witnessing to others.


Various new brethren helping with the evangelizing work send their grateful thanks for the financial help sent. As the means come in we are able to help more native workers who want to do more for the Lord. This is made up of a rather large crowd, a modest amount being given to many, rather than as a full salary support to a few. They are then encouraged to go ahead by faith, trusting the Lord to move also on the hearts of the people of the area wherever they witness and preach. I along with a nucleus of others, began this work years ago by faith without definite salary of pledges, and as increased funds began to come in, instead of appropriating more for comforts and luxuries we made every effort to keep personal expenditures to a bare minimum in order that more tracts be printed, and more evangelists be helped. This is strikingly effective since the native workers can generally carry on at about one tenth or even less, of the average American missionaries and evangelists.


So, rejoice, God's Word is going out and souls are still being saved, the poor are fed, the jails are visited and God is also answering prayer miraculously in healing the ailing according to His will.


Now unto Him Who can present you faultless before the Father, be glory and honor forever. Amen


Your missionary servant in the Lord,


Orland A. Wolfram
